The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

This was the first time Doug had ever witnessed a demon transform into a monster so closely.

Rather than turning into a monster, it's more accurate to say that the monster was resurrected within the demon's body. The demon's original flesh, like a bursting garment, turned into a pile of fragments. Under Doug's feet, there were red and yellow substances, as well as the demon's green skin.

Doug felt his jaw chattering, but the new demon commander patted Doug on the shoulder and said, "Governor, don't worry. Look, aren't these demon gods' offspring all very obedient?"

After saying that, the new commander elegantly cut off the black piece of meat that the waiter had brought with his knife, and then used his fork to put the still-twitching piece of meat into his mouth.

"Want a bite?"

The commander thoughtfully cut off a small piece of meat that wasn't twitching so violently and placed it near Doug's mouth.

"No, that's not necessary..."

Doug felt like he was about to vomit, but he managed to hold it in.

Compared to before, Doug looked much more haggard. Even Jefferson might not recognize Doug at first glance. But there was a strange light in Doug's eyes, with three parts ambition and seven parts flattery towards the demons.

"Heh, that makes sense. You humans don't have the courage to become the offspring of a demon god."

Without hesitation, the commander put the piece of meat into his mouth and swallowed it.

After seeing off the last batch of demons who had been transformed into offspring of the demon god, the commander led Doug to the newly built tower, gazing at the distant battlefield.

Although he was called the governor, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that his status and position were higher.

"Governor Doug, what is your view on the current war?"

On the completed tower, the commander looked out over the war and asked Doug a question.

"The descendants of the demon god are naturally invincible. I am now just waiting to become a glorious and honorable member of the demon race."

Although the flesh and blood of those so-called demon gods were disgusting, and the so-called offspring of demon gods made Doug feel nauseous, the strength of these monsters was real. They had once treated Doug like a stray dog ​​on the roadside and beaten the Gray White Army to a pulp, but now they were being suppressed by these monsters in their last lines and unable to get out.

The production cost of these monsters is merely a single demon soldier and those disgusting black chunks of flesh.

"Hmph, if only that were true."

The demon commander remained noncommittal about Doug's attitude, but his expression softened considerably. This was the proper attitude from humans. Couldn't the humans on the battlefield be like Doug and obediently serve as dogs for the demons?

But the hum quickly dissipated in the north wind, because the battlefield situation was not optimistic for the demons, which made the demon commander who had brought reinforcements quite anxious.

Although the first wave of demon reinforcements arrived and managed to withstand the attack of the human reinforcements and regain the advantage, the battle lines were still difficult to advance.

The battlefield was like a giant meat grinder, with mountains of corpses of humans and demons' offspring, and black and red blood flowing all over the ground. The two sides remained deadlocked on the Golden Harvest Plain.

It's hard to imagine that the demon god's offspring, who should be invincible in the eyes of the demon race, have been unable to conquer the Gray Collar's territory for so long, even with the help of a bunch of humans corrupted by divine blood.

The commander quickly realized that he had been far too optimistic; the fighting spirit of humanity was much stronger than he had imagined.

Many demon soldiers who were originally only there to handle logistics were temporarily transformed into offspring of demon gods and sent to the battlefield to fight against humans.

It should be noted that the demon race is not large. Although the flesh and blood of the demon god are in unlimited supply, the number of demon god offspring is decreasing with each killing.

Humanity's resilience is clearly much stronger, and if the fighting continues like this, it's hard to say which side will collapse first. After discussing with Noam, the new commander decided to continue seeking reinforcements.

Both sides have already invested too much sunk cost and cannot give up, so now they can only throw more flesh and blood into this huge meat grinder.

The demon soldiers who came to provide support devoured the flesh and blood of the demon god, and in a state of extreme excitement, they were transformed into the offspring of the demon god. Then, under Noam's control, they were continuously thrown into the battlefield.

The wails of the demon god's offspring howled in the increasingly cold north wind, like echoes from the abyss.

The swarming mud monsters had already been reduced to one-third. Due to the enemy's continuous artillery fire, Noam no longer allowed these monsters to go forward as cannon fodder. Instead, he let these monsters roam in the rear, becoming real expendable resources to supply the retreating demon offspring for quick recovery.

Noam originally planned to take advantage of the arrival of reinforcements and launch another wave of attacks with the help of the mud monsters to capture the enemy's position. This was not impossible, since although the reinforcements that came to the enemy were very capable, their numbers were limited, while the enemy's main force was already exhausted.

But humans somehow managed to pull out the potion that could suppress the offspring of demons from their crotches. Whenever Noam was about to launch an attack to destroy the enemy camp, those unknown quantities of the potion would be pulled out to stop the demons' attack.

The war that the demons originally wanted to end quickly has been dragged on until now.

The howling north wind not only carried away the wails of humans and demons on the battlefield, but also brought down the first snowflake of the year.

The newly arrived demon commander stretched his hand out of the tower and murmured, "Winter is here."

Contrary to the commander's expectations, the human army did not collapse at the first sign of trouble. Instead, the war dragged on into winter. In the end, the commander's promise was only half fulfilled. Although the war was not ended, at least the soldiers could spend the winter in human territory. Although most of the demons had been transformed into offspring of the demon god, where they spent the winter was no longer important.

After receiving the new demon commander, Doug finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his own camp at the rear.

Looking at the humans in the camp, Doug instantly felt incredibly close to them. Although there were still quite a few demons in the camp monitoring Doug, the surveillance wasn't strict. After all, Doug was now completely on the wrong path and there was no turning back.

"Second brother!"

Doug's two younger brothers quickly gathered around.

How is the situation at the front?

These two younger brothers, Lena's uncle and former candidates for governor, are now completely subservient to Doug.

There was nothing they could do; like Doug, they were forced to become the demons' dogs, and because they had no real power, their status was even lower than Doug's.

Now, if they want to swagger around like they used to, whether the demons can win this time and whether they can become honorary demons is of paramount importance.

After all, as Doug said before, since the North is definitely no match for his nephew-in-law, why not switch allegiance to the demons? If the demons become powerful in the future, they might actually become heroes and restore the glory of the Lars family. Although the ancestors of the Lars family would probably be turning in their graves if they knew they had switched allegiance to the demons.

"It's a stalemate, but don't worry, the demons still have the upper hand."

After speaking, Doug paused for a moment and asked, "How is it going in the East?"

"It seems that the Eastern Territory was warned by the demons and intimidated by their monsters. Moreover, I heard that the capital is starting to fall into chaos again. So the Eastern Territory is ignoring Her Majesty the Queen's warnings and secretly sending supplies to the demons."

Doug frowned and asked, "Then what are you all standing there for? Go to the areas we still control and plunder some more supplies for the Demon Lord. Whether we can restore our family's glory depends on this. We absolutely cannot let those guys from the Eastern Territory beat us to it!"

“But second brother, the areas we still control have already been ransacked by the demons.”

Doug regained some confidence after hearing what his two brothers said, after all, he was a professional at plundering and exploiting.

"Hmph, you really can't do without me. I'll take care of this kind of thing."
